- Hundreds gathered in Trafalgar Square after a ban on protesting outside Parliament, waving Palestinian flags and chanting slogans like 'We will not be silenced' amid police-imposed exclusion zones.
- Chancellor Rachel Reeves condemned the group’s behaviour as 'totally unacceptable' for causing damage to military assets, while Baroness Chakrabarti warned proscription marks a 'very serious step' and may be an escalation too far.
- If proscribed, the group will be legally classed as a terrorist organisation, making membership or support a criminal offence punishable by up to 14 years in prison.
